The Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York has set a record goal of $20, 900, 000 for its 40th annual appeal, which will open October 3, Samuel J. Silberman, campaign chairman, announced. The Federation supports 116 affiliated hospitals, health and welfare agencies.
The 1957 goal represents $3, 900,000 more than was raised by the Federation last year when the New York Jewish community contributed $17, 000, 000. The goal is the highest in the history of the organization and of philanthropy in New York.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
